[dpdk-dev] is there any function like rte_mempool_destroy compare with rte_mempool_create

[Ni, Xun]

Hello, folks:

  I only see the rte_mempool_create but without function like rte_mempool_destroy? If I run an application twice, is there possible that the app has the memory leak? Or it just doesn't have enough memory to execute it again because the first one already get most of the memory but without release it.

Thanks,
Xun

User-mapped memory should be freed by the kernel when the process dies.

However if there is multiprocess, shmem, or kernel resources being used in 
your configuration anything could happen, including leaks.

Do you have some specifics about what you were doing / running?
